Lady Gaga 'still haunted' by bullying

She might a pop icon now but Lady Gaga has admitted that she is still "haunted" by the school bullies that taunted her.

In an interview with Google, she explained: "I say this with so much genuineness in my heart: Bullying stays with you your whole life.

"I was never the winner, I was always the loser, and that still stays with me." However, she insists she holds no grudges, even when those same bullies come begging for tickets.

"There's been lots of concert ticket requests," she went on. "I think one of the most awkward things anyone ever said to me was, 'Well, my my, how the tables have turned'."

"To be honest, I don't have that kind of vengeful spirit and I never did."

Previously Gaga had confessed to Cosmopolitan magazine that she was bullied because of her big nose, curly brown hair and because she was overweight.

She later told The Independent: "Right now the only thing that I am concerned with in my life is being an artist... I had to suppress it for so many years in high school because I was made fun of but now I'm completely insulated in my box of insanity and I can do whatever I like."
